1. So how are the— How are the kids?

2. They're good.

3. Jane gave me a really hard time this morning,

4. but I got 'em off to school, so.

5. Okay, so I have a—

6. I maybe have something that I have to—

7. Well, I got something I gotta tell you about that's—

8. maybe I have.

9. Okay.

10. Here's the thing.

11. Okay, I was on— I did "The Tonight Show" the other night.

12. I don't know if you saw it.

13. It went really well.

14. And so I had a meeting at—

15. I had a meeting at CBS.

16. CBS?

17. Yeah, with like, the chairman of CBS, like in the—

18. Anyway, he told—

19. The thing is, though, he told me—

20. He made me sign a confidentiality agreement

21. saying I would never repeat this to anybody, just so you know.

22. So maybe you shouldn't tell me.

23. No, I have to tell you so I can tell you

24. what's going on with me. Okay.

25. All right, look—

26. David— David Letterman is retiring

27. at the end of next year and they're—

28. I guess they're looking at possibly—

29. at maybe me to maybe be the guy

30. who could replace him.

31. Take over Letterman's job?

32. Yeah.

33. But so—

34. Wait, you're just like, on a list or something?

35. Is that what you're telling me?

36. Well, no, apparently, it's—

37. Like, it's between me and Jerry Seinfeld,

38. and obviously, he's the frontrunner, but I—

39. They're looking at me, like, as an option.

40. Because you'd be cheaper.

41. Yeah.

42. And so I'm supposed to start working with this guy

43. here in New York, like, this producer guy,

44. to like, train, and I'm supposed to do a test show and—

45. I guess if they like the show—

46. You know, it's a really outside shot.

47. It's a way outside shot, but I have...

48. a shot.

49. And well, I'm telling you this because I—

50. Of course, I can't— You know, I can't do it.

51. What? Why?

52. Because I got the kids three days a week

53. and if I had a full-time job—

54. This is more than a full-time job.

55. It's just—

56. Ah, forget the kids.

57. What? The kids.

58. I got the kids.

59. You go do this, you go get this job.

60. You go get this job.

61. I don't even know if I can.

62. Well, you can if you want it.

63. You have to get this, Louie.

64. Janet, I'm— Jerry Seinfeld is—

65. Oh, Jerry Seinfeld, boo.

66. He's not even that good.

67. I mean, not like that.

68. His show was great,

69. but that was a long time ago, okay?

70. No, you have more than a shot.

71. These people aren't idiots.

72. They picked you for a reason.

73. Janet, you're not—

74. Look, I've been on the road doing comedy,

75. standup for all these years

76. because I can do that and then— I make my own schedule

77. and then I'm able to take my time with the kids

78. so they're with me half the time,

79. they're used to that, they need that.

80. Louie, you'll see them on the weekends,

81. you'll have them over the summer.

82. Yes, you'll see them a lot less,

83. but that's because you'll have a job.

84. I have a job.

85. Louie.

86. You came here so that I would tell you

87. that you can't do this, didn't you?

88. Because I need you to do your share with the kids?

89. That's why you're here?

90. You don't have the gall to take this thing on

91. and you want me to blame?

92. Here's the bad news, buddy.

93. You can totally get this show and the girls will be fine.

94. I mean, this standup thing, where's that going?

95. Huh?

96. It was going to this.

97. If you don't do this, I mean, what was it all for?

98. What did you put 20 years into this for?

99. What did I put my nine in for?

100. Listen, you've been a fine father,

101. but nobody needs a father that much.

102. The girls need a role model.

103. They need to see you live and succeed.

104. Look, I'm not bitter about anything.

105. You've— I'm grateful to you.

106. You supported us for years, you supported me.

107. And since I've got my degree, I haven't needed you.

108. I'm not asking you for anything.

109. I'm just—

110. I hate to see what the future will be

111. if you don't make this happen.

112. Hi, I'm—

113. I'm here to see Jack Dahl.

114. It's "Dahl."

115. Dahl— Dahl?

133. about the "Late Show" thing?

152. You forgot to say, "We'll be right back."

153. Oh, right.

154. "We'll be right back."

311. I feel like I've given this a lot of thought and I've—

312. Go see a man named Alphonse at this address,

313. tomorrow morning, 9:00 sharp.

338. You're gonna fight him.

339. Oh shit!

341. Okay, come back tomorrow.

342. Extra!

343. Speculation that David Letterman is retiring

344. at the end of this year and who will replace him

345. has just gotten more interesting.

346. In addition to Jerry Seinfeld,

347. who is widely regarded as the frontrunner for the job,

348. comedian Chris Rock has emerged as a strong possibility.

349. Chris Rock has denied being considered,

350. but inside sources say he has lobbied hard

351. to beat Jerry Seinfeld for the job.

352. It's Dahl.

353. Dahl?

354. It's "Dahl."

355. Dahl?

356. "Dahl."

357. Dahl?

358. "Dahl."

359. Dahl.

360. "Dahl."

361. Dahl.

362. "Dahl."

363. Dahl.

364. "Dahl."

365. Dahl?

366. It's "Dahl."

367. "Dahl."

368. "Dahl."

369. Oh, okay.

370. Thank you.
